About Gold Bunny Rose
Rosa 'Gold Bunny' is a moderate-growing shrub in the Rosaceae family. It reaches around 90 cm tall and 70 cm wide at maturity, with deciduous foliage. Yellow flowers appear for much of the year.
Where to grow Gold Bunny Rose
Gold Bunny Rose suits warm-temperate, cool-temperate, Mediterranean and subtropical climates and grows best in full sun. It is frost hardy and shrugs off cold winters.
Soil & planting
Gold Bunny Rose does best in free-draining and loamy soil. Dig in plenty of compost before planting, water in well, and mulch to keep roots cool. For a screen, space plants about 50 cm apart.
Watering & feeding
Gold Bunny Rose is regular, moderate watering. A feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser keeps growth strong. In its first year, water deeply once or twice a week to settle the roots in, then taper off as it establishes.
Pruning & care
Prune Gold Bunny Rose after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. It clips well, so trim two or three times a year for a formal finish. Overall it is low maintenance.
Using Gold Bunny Rose in the garden
Gold Bunny Rose earns its place for a feature or specimen planting, cut flowers for the vase, pots and courtyard containers and a fast screen or informal hedge. It is equally at home in the ground or a large pot on a balcony or courtyard.
Companion planting & design
For a cohesive, low-care bed, pair Gold Bunny Rose with other plants that enjoy the same regular, moderate watering and warm-temperate climate. Group three or five together for impact rather than dotting single plants through the garden.
Good to know
It is thorny — useful as a barrier, but wear gloves when pruning.
